From following description, appending claims and accompanying drawing, these and other feature of the present invention, aspect and advantage will become very obvious, wherein:
Fig. 1 is that of most preferred embodiment of the present invention summarizes perspective diagram; And
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of an exemplary method of the present invention.
In general, if an object is described to realize that with software then it can be realized well with hardware equally in this specification.
With reference to figure 1, the present invention is suitable for a for example entertainment systems 20 uses of TV 20a.But entertainment systems 20 can comprise broadcast receiver, other audio entertain mem broadcasting and non-broadcast acoustic image entertainment systems, for example cable or satellite or dvd system etc.Entertainment systems 20 comprises permanent data storage 30, and for example hard disk drive or nonvolatile ram (NVRAM) can be stored each user-selected number according to being used to reach corresponding to a plurality of entertainment systems users, blanketly herein is numeral " 40 ".The user selects also to comprise each user's 40 the history of watching." watch history " as used herein and mean user 40 one of the previous entertainment options of selecting on the preset time frame to add up.In a most preferred embodiment, system of the present invention can suppose, when user 40 selected a concrete entertainment options, user 40 liked this option and wishes that this system recommend similar entertainment options in future.
Detection system 22 detects the user 40 who watches proximate television 20a in the zone 11 predetermined, for example the rating time of user 40a or 40b.Use therein " watching the zone " can not only comprise the physical space of proximate television 20a, for example watch zone 11, and comprise one or more adjacent zones of watching, what a user 40 expectations of watching regional 11 borders for example were set by having the right watches zone 12 and 13.
Detection system 22 can be any system that the those of ordinary skill of detection technique is familiar with, with example but not the mode of limitation comprises the TV of the remote control that for example has recognition system, speech recognition system, biometric device, set-top box etc., or has a TV of the combination of these devices.Use therein " biometric device " can comprise speech recognition system, fingerprint recognition system, lines of the hand recognition system etc., two examples of biometric identification are in the or the combination of these systems. prior art: the article of the people such as Gutta publication on the proceedings of IEEE ACM " about face and automatically Second International's meeting of identification of posture " " uses face and the hand gesture recognition of the sorter that mixes " (Face and Hand Gesture Recognition Using HybridClassifiers), with the article " maximum likelihood face detection " (Maximum Likelihood Face Detection) of the people such as Colmenarez publication on the proceedings of " about face and automatically Second International's meeting of identification of posture " of IEEE ACM.
Profile processor 34 is coupled to permanent data storage 30 and detection system 22 straight-throughly.Use therein " profile processor " comprise the computer of personal computer 34a for example, for example be embedded in or directly be built into the system based on microprocessor of a microprocessor system in the entertainment systems 20 that resembles profile processor 34, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), one for example comprises external device (ED) based on the set-top box 26 of the system of microprocessor etc., or the combination in any of these devices.Profile processor 34 can monitoring user 40 with the reciprocation of entertainment systems 20; Write down the reciprocation of each user 40 and entertainment systems 20 and watch history; And in permanent data storage 30, create, operate, store and the maintenance user profile.
Profile processor 34 uses detection systems 22 to detect automatically which user of this a plurality of entertainment systems users 40 is current to use entertainment systems 20 or watching within the zone 11 at entertainment systems 20.Profile processor 34 is used the user 40 of these detections and according to current a plurality of users' 40 in watching zone 11 each configuration file, is automatically created a composite user profile.
Each user profile can comprise a selection of watching history and user 40.In addition, for example but does not say restrictedly that the user 40 with suitable access right can be allowed to revise its configuration file, from classifying, one group of preset selection selects.These classification can comprise preferential entertainment options, for example the type of music or television program type.In addition, user 40 can select, watch the order of any assembled arrangement entertainment options of the moment of selection, the selection of combination etc. or these contents by the user.As used herein " combination selection " mean a group selection, about how to operate consider may be in a user's who watches other users 40 that zone 11 exists selection.For example, a given young adult 40a who has child 40c may be less than the strong selection for children's cartoon program, if but in watching zone 11, there is three years old child 40c, then may have a very high configuration file of children's cartoon program viewing rate and select.
" sure " program that can be considered to a user 40 in an audience ratings threshold value or the entertainment options that is higher than this threshold value.Correspondingly, the entertainment options that is not higher than an audience ratings threshold value can be considered to " negating " program of a user 40.A given user 40 watches history, and system of the present invention for example produces one group of entertainment options of negating by an availability database of whole entertainment options of taking a sample, and wherein this database is the type that the those of ordinary skill of software programming technique is familiar with.
In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention uses even random distribution to produce the entertainment options that this negates.In the mode of giving an example but not limiting to, this illustrative methods selects each entertainment options as the entertainment options that is not set to sure entertainment options of the user 40 in this database from a database of all available entertainment options.In addition, for example by a preset time frame, within a week of counting from some day, can limit the generation of the setting negating of entertainment options.
In addition, can use an adaptive technique, such as the adaptive technique of March 28 calendar year 2001 by 09/819286 disclosed being entitled as of U.S. Patent application " An Adaptive SamplingTechnique for Selecting Negative Examples for ArtificialIntelligence Applications " of people such as Gutta submission.The adaptive sampling technology is extracted more approaching this sure entertainment options of entertainment options, and use is implicit, explicit and feedback technique produces the recommendation that is used for difference user 40.Implicit techniques comprises makes a system notice which kind of entertainment options has the attraction to each user 40, for example each user content of watching or listening to; Catch user 40 entertainment options option selection scheme; And according to the scheme option recommend entertainment options of catching.Use therein " catching " with for example but the mode of not limiting to is included in the user profile that is used for user 40, for example in user 40 the data storing predetermined in the history of watching.Explicit techniques comprises that making user 40 specify watches selection, uses the selection of this appointment that entertainment options is recommended a user 40 then.The third technology comprises that the system that makes draws concrete feedback from user 40, then according to recommending to be provided with from this feedback generation of user 40.Can use the technology of all aforesaid ways of combination in addition.
In the operation of a most preferred embodiment, with the prior art contrast, the present invention produces one group of entertainment options recommendation according to a plurality of users 40 rather than sole user 40.Therefore, in the embodiment of an example, system at first is identified at each user 40 who watches in the zone 11, provide the entertainment options that is confined to by those entertainment options of watching the common audience ratings that the user 40 of zone in 11 has to recommend subsequently, the member of family for example is not even their reality is to come across in the same room.In the mode of giving an example but not limiting to, if user 40c was not in the same room 11 at TV 20a place in three years old above-mentioned, but obtain within the scope of TV 20a seeing or listen, such as in room 13, when the recommendation that provides, then the father and mother 40a of three years old user 40c may want to consider the situation that three years old user 40c occurs.For example, TV 20a is in the cubicle in adjacent this kitchen if three years old user 40c is in a kitchen, and then father and mother 40a may more can select to have special recommendation children's cartoon program but not a film and television platform.
When and sign all detected, search the configuration file that is used for each identifying user 40 and be used for further processing all users 40 that watch zone 11.Detected but the user that do not identified or do not have the user 40 who has set up configuration file and can represent by the configuration file that defaults.The user's 40 who detects configuration file is combined in the composite user profile subsequently in a predetermined manner, and produce the tabulation that entertainment options is recommended, and make that this tabulation can be for this composite user profile of reflection watch that the user 40 in the zone 11 is used.
In one first current prediction embodiment, by the sure entertainment options of accumulative total and produce the entertainment options of negating that is used for each sure entertainment options at each configuration file of the detection user 40 who searches and realize combination to configuration file.A composite user profile that in each configuration file that detects user 40, produces quilt weighting coequally in this composite user profile produces subsequently.The establishment of composite user profile can realize by the combination of implicit, explicit or feedback technique or these technology.From the retrieval of the information source of a database or other available entertainment options at one preset time frame available entertainment options, produce one group of entertainment options recommendation results for example at the current or current available entertainment options that arrives with the time frame of latter two hour, and with respect to this available entertainment options of this composite user profile analysis.For example by only being recommended in this select time those entertainment options of image duration,, and select entertainment options from the whole of this available entertainment options group or a predetermined subclass promptly a predetermined threshold value or be higher than those entertainment options of this predetermined threshold value.In another embodiment of current prediction, the user can be provided the demonstration of only indicating this recommendations, wherein recommendations is diacritic whole option, option of for example seeing or recommend or the structure setting of recommending, sure and non-recommendations, negative option.
In the possibility of current consideration, be not to produce composite user profile, but of watching each user 40 of occurring in the zone 11 is previous to be produced the configuration file of (or defaulting) and analyze the entertainment options that can use with audience rating statistical to impinging upon.Have only audience rating statistical when an entertainment options to be in or when being higher than these users' 40 whole predetermined threshold value, just recommend this entertainment options.
It is also envisioned that the variation of this scheme.For example, each user 40 can be by different land ownership, make some users' 40 selection be considered more than other user's 40 selection.In addition, do not require all users 40 all a threshold value or be higher than entertainment options of a threshold value rating, but can consider one simple or " majority rule " weighting judges or other is based on rule of judging.And if use weight coefficient, then this weight coefficient can be used as function constantly and changes, for example when the time with the configuration file comparison of user 40c, and can be bigger at the configuration file weighting at night of user 40a than daytime.
Also predict other technology at present.With for example but the mode of not limiting to, father and daughter can generally like physical culture.This father may also like entertainment options, comprise the cooking substance that daughter detests, and this daughter may like entertainment options, comprises the music that father dislikes.If this father and daughter see TV 20a, then this system may produce a composite user profile, analyzes available TV programme, recommends a tennis match and a physical culture news program then.If this father's selection is bigger by this daughter's of weighted ratio of system selection, then can obtain to recommend a culinary art broadcasting simultaneously, even if the watching separately then will not recommend this culinary art to broadcast of this daughter.
As further example, if three years old child of mother and she watches together, only be shown in one embodiment, even those entertainment options are not the option of high television ratings for this mother by the entertainment options of this three years old child's configuration file highly recommended.
Except watching history, this system can use other attribute in its decision process.In the mode of giving an example but not limiting to, can be for a given user's 40 weight coefficient according to changing constantly.For example, a child of three years old can have limit priority in the morning, and mother can have limit priority at night.Further example is, this three years old child's priority can be zero at night.
With reference now to Fig. 2,, when TV 20a passed through a for example timer connection or starts, detection system 22 detected predetermined and watches that whose (110) user 40 in regional 11 is.
Profile processor 34 determines that immediately this detects user 40 sign.In one exemplary embodiment, this detection user 40 sign is compared (120) with the one group of user ID that is stored in the permanent data storage 30.As noted before, permanent data storage 30 can be the part of TV 20a, can be by TV 20a visit, for example the jockey of being familiar with by the those of ordinary skill of data communication technology is operatively coupled to a hard disk drive on personal computer 34a of this TV.
The configuration file (130) that is used for this detection user 40 then from permanent data storage 30 retrievals.User 40 that can not identify or the user 40 who does not have addressable configuration file can the designated configuration files 135 that defaults.
In case obtain this configuration file, then use all configuration files of searching to create a composite user profile (140).In a present most preferred embodiment,, at first produce one and compoundly watch historical 132 and produce a composite user profile by watching history from being stored at the selection of each identifying user 40 storage each.
Although other technology will be familiar with for the computer technology those of ordinary skill, the technology of a composite user profile of present some generations is looked forward to.In first kind of technology, all the configuration file of collecting is by combination mathematically, so that create a non-weighted sum of whole configuration files of this identifying user 40.Those entertainment options that produce the composite user profile that reflects the entertainment options selection with maximum arithmetic value are the entertainment options that the user 40 in watching zone 11 is had greatest attraction forces by hypothesis.
In second kind of technology, whole configuration files of collecting are mathematically made up, wherein the selection of each detection and identifying user 40 is further operated according to a predetermined weighting, for example by the further operation of multiplying each other, so that produce a weighted sum of whole configuration files of this detection and identifying user 40.As this first kind of technology, those entertainment options that produce the composite user profile that reflects the entertainment options selection with maximum arithmetic value are the entertainment options that the user 40 in watching zone 11 is had greatest attraction forces by hypothesis.
In the third technology, each that equal or exceed a predetermined threshold value detects and those compositions of each configuration file of identifying user 40 by only comprising, all configuration files of combination collection.Be assumed to be for watching that user 40 in the zone 11 has the entertainment options of greatest attraction forces in this threshold value or whole entertainment options of being higher than this threshold value.
From this composite user profile, system produces one group of compound sure entertainment options (150).Can be by the familiar various technology of the those of ordinary skill in the software programming technique, comprise and use even random phase distribution technique, realize to produce this compound sure entertainment option set, thereby can allow a user 40 to select an entertainment options from a database of all available entertainment options at each entertainment options in this sure setting.This can comprise guarantees that this entertainment options of having extracted is not this part of combination certainly, and from occurring the frame at the same time, such as in the cycle in one one week, occurring.Can realize the generation of this compound sure entertainment option set in addition by an adaptive sampling technology, the entertainment options of more approaching this sure entertainment options of this adaptive sampling choice of technology.The method that is used for self adaptation TV program commending according to user profile is in the U.S. 09/498 that submit to, that be entitled as " Adaptive TVProgram Recommender " on February 4th, 2000, discuss to some extent in No. 271 patent applications, this application is incorporated herein by reference by whole.
In further possibility, the generation of compound sure entertainment option set can be used the combination of implicit techniques, explicit techniques, feedback technique or these technology.
In addition, can produce the entertainment options (155) of one group of composite negative by the database of whole entertainment options of taking a sample.The combination of the entertainment options of this composite negative can be stored for following and use.
In case produce the combination of affirmation and negation program, then can be from the score (160) of this composite user profile generation at each part of this combination.Use therein " score " comprises the numerical value with each part correlation of this combination of affirmation and negation entertainment options, by this score, each part of sure combination or the entertainment options of affirmation and negation energy are somebody's turn to do other member of combination relatively and/or a predetermined threshold of relative use in producing the recommendation part of this combination is estimated.Can use this selection or this compound selection to produce score.In a present most preferred embodiment, only produce score at sure entertainment options.In further most preferred embodiment, the combination results that can still be confined to the entertainment options of a preset time frame from the threshold value of mating a score is recommended.In the mode of giving an example but not limiting to, can by with respect to the audience ratings evaluation of the entertainment options of a preset time frame of each personal configuration file that comes across the previous generation of watching zone 11 positive each user 40 and only be provided at subsequently each previous personal configuration file of creating of watching each user 40 that zone 11 occurs in meet or surpass the entertainment options of a predetermined audience ratings threshold value, determine which recommending, entertainment options can be provided and produce score.
In addition, one or more user 40 can designatedly have the power that is different from other user 40, for example access right or administrative power.With for example but the mode of not limiting to, may indicate this user 40b to be allowed to revise rule and method of weighting at the user's of for example user 40b configuration file, add or revise other configuration file etc., user 40a and 40c then may not be allowed to.
Should be appreciated that, under the condition that does not deviate from the principle of the present invention quoted as proof as following claim and scope, those skilled in the art can constitute above-mentioned in order to explain the various changes in details of the present invention, content and the design that characteristic of the present invention describes and illustrate.
